GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Work Area
•
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
•
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in and way.
•
Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
•
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
•
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
•
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
•
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
•
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
•
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
•
Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached
to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
